BRUSSELS, Belgium - European publishers warned Tuesday that they cannot keep allowing Internet search engines such as Google Inc. to make money from their content. "The new models of Google and others reverse the traditional permission-based copyright model of content trading that we have built up over the years," said Francisco Pinto Balsemao, the head of the European Publishers Council, in prepared remarks for a speech at a Brussels conference.

Well, take down 90% of people's links pages, where they provide a quick blurb about the site with a link...
And if they don't want the traffic why not block the spiders with robots.txt

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I should have said, "Would you be OK with me synopsizing every piece of content on your website."
